Living with anxiety and panic can be one of the most traumatic experiences of your life. I know, because I lived with anxiety and panic disorder for over 5 years. During that time my life was empty and a constant struggle. I hated having anxiety, and the fear of it crippled me.

After years of fighting with my thoughts and feelings, I finally began to accept them. In a way, I learned to love my anxiety, which ultimately helped me overcome it. Today, I am happy with my life and am anxiety free.

I created LoveYourAnxiety.com to help others overcome anxiety and panic so they don't have to suffer like I did. I know what it's like to live with the misery of anxiety everyday, but I have recovered, and you can too!

I tried a million things before I got better. The following are anxiety programs that I have tried and have worked for me. I suffered for a long time, but the good news is that hopefully I can help you get better faster!

The Panic Away ProgramAuthor: Joe Barry

Panic Away was the one program that I feel really helped my recovery. Panic Away teaches you to shift your focus when you are experiencing symptoms and actually feel the anxiety instead of fight it. It also works on breaking the loop of anxiety and panic. I don't know what I would have done without this program.

Panic Away doesn't require a lot of writing or "thought records" and didn't take forever to get through. I was a little worried about whether the program was legitimate or not before I bought it, but I had no regrets whatsover after I did. Had I found this earlier in my own anxiety experience, it would have saved me a lot of pain and suffering. I absolutely, without a doubt, recommend Panic Away.

Lucinda Bassett is well known for her anxiety program "Attacking Anxiety and Depression ". I had a lot of success with it. The program is extensive and is divided into 16 weekly lessons. It comes with audio as well as a workbook and video. It was very soothing listening to Lucinda's first hand accounts with anxiety when I was really struggling.

Mainly, the program teaches you how your thoughts have a direct influence on your anxiety and panic, and how you can change this. There is a relaxtion tape included to use daily, and several homework questions and assignments for each week. Doing the assignments and listening to the tape does work. The greatest benefit of this program is having Lucinda's audio tapes at your disposal to listen to anytime you are feeling anxious. It's like having your own personal therapist! If you can't afford to invest in the program (it is a bit pricey), Lucinda's book Power Over Panic is a great alternative.
